SEN0524 Slow readings

Hello, 

I have a SEN0524 tof sensor, which i got working with an ESP32 via UART.

Is it normal, that the sensor value follows the distance really slow?

I takes approx 3 seconds to get the correct value, when the distance changes about 2m.

Hello,I am working with the same sensor and I got the same problem. Were you able to fix the problem?

Maybe i explained wrong, the refresh rate is fast.

But when the distance to measure changes fast, the data goes up or down like a ramp,

until it reachches the correct value, which takes seconds.

Hi

Nomally, this module should react very fast, thus it use laser to measure the distance and has a 50hz refresh rate.

Did you try the demo code on our Wiki? It may has some problem while communicating with ESP32 via softserial, you could try it on an arduino board if it is possible.

If you have any further question, you can contact the Tech support team via email: [email protected]

Hope it can help!
